Wednesday Morning Commute - revenue actually goes up

Good morning

According to police, a cyclist in SE DC was pulled over at 3am for holding an open container. He pulled a gun and began firing and the officer "returned fire with his 9mm Glock, police said. Sweptson was struck several times in the upper body and pronounced dead on the scene; the officer was not hit. Police said a .380 semiautomatic handgun was recovered at the scene."

Heated bike handles. "The design uses a small generator to capture energy from the bicycle's forward motion and generate electricity, which is then transmitted to a heating element embedded in a grip that goes on the handle bars. They are designed to work for a variety of bikes."

This article, about the controversy surrounding a cycletrack and how it will remove parking, could be about DC, but it isn't. "Others said businesses may even have to close if parking on the busy thoroughfare is taken away."

This kind of underscores how ridiculous the whole "scofflaw cyclist" think is. This guy was no more a "cyclist" than a "person walking around" is a "pedestrian". He was a "person on a bike".
